When we moved to Oregon back in June of 2012, I learned a lot about babywearing and cloth diapers. I absolutely love wearing JJ in an Ergo and I loved cloth diapering him.
I started cloth diapering JJ when he was six months old. It was so awesome because hubby was on board too. We used Fuzzibunz (one size) and Bumgenius 4.0's (one size). Then I tried flats...and loved them! Flats and covers is by far my favorite system. I like pockets too, but microfiber inserts suck to wash.
We stopped cloth diapering (cd'ing) when JJ was around 11 months. I washed his flats with his pockets and the flats were smeared with Desitin (diaper rash cream). Desitin is not cloth dipaer friendly. During the wash the Desitin mixed with the diapers and made them water resistant. I stripped them multiple times and finally got them back to the way they were. BUT I have not used them since I stripped them and they have been sitting in a plastic bin. They are currently in Oregon with hubby.
Since we are in San Diego the water is hard. With hard water there is build-up in washing cloth diapers. In Oregon it was easier because the water is soft. Well, with hard water I decided we will cloth diaper Oliver and JJ using organic cotton prefolds/flats and covers. Easier to wash and way cheaper than buying pocket/AIO diapers
I did place an order through a co-op on Facebook. I ordered four newborn all-in-one diapers and the brand is THX. A knock off version of Little Joey's. I figured I will order a little at a time, every month until Oliver is here. Hubby is flying down from Oregon so I will have him bring a few of JJ's pocket diapers.
I am very excited to starting
CD'ing again :)
